1. Now praise the hidden God of love,
In whom we all must live and move,
Who shepherds us at every stage,
Through youth, maturity, and age:
2. Who challenged us, when we were young,
To storm the citadels of wrong;
In care for others taught us how
God's true community must grow:
3. Who bids us never lose our zest,
Though age is urging us to rest,
But proves to us that we have still
A work to do, a place to fill.
